Wall Street Assholes Will Eat Your Cushy Middle-Class Job

Once General Secretary Obama and Chief Commissar Pelosi have banned all capitalist activity more advanced that barter and turned Lower Manhattan into a giant open-air market for selling organic produce and hemp blankets, what will become of the tightly wound young men who made all that money for you and me, right up until the point where they destroyed America? You were probably hoping that, having no other skills, they would literally die, after being knifed by hobos in a fight for the least filthy spots under the freeway overpass. But it turns out that they’re just going to take away your jobs (assuming, of course, that you still have a job, after they destroyed the economy.) Read on to find out how you can defend yourself! (Hint: You cannot, they are relentless and unstoppable.)

John Derbyshire posts an e-mail that is “going around Wall Street this morning” over on the Internet’s #1 blog, in which some nameless stockbroker threatens to become an actual migrant worker, taking the jobs away from ordinary Americans. We reproduce it here in full, because why not.

We are Wall Street. It’s our job to make money. Whether it’s a commodity, stock, bond, or some hypothetical piece of fake paper, it doesn’t matter. We would trade baseball cards if it were profitable. I didn’t hear America complaining when the market was roaring to 14,000 and everyone’s 401k doubled every 3 years. Just like gambling, its not a problem until you lose. I’ve never heard of anyone going to Gamblers Anonymous because they won too much in Vegas.

Well now the market crapped out, & even though it has come back somewhat, the government and the average Joes are still looking for a scapegoat. God knows there has to be one for everything. Well, here we are.

Go ahead and continue to take us down, but you’re only going to hurt yourselves. What’s going to happen when we can’t find jobs on the Street anymore? Guess what: We’re going to take yours. We get up at 5am & work till 10pm or later. We’re used to not getting up to pee when we have a position. We don’t take an hour or more for a lunch break. We don’t demand a union. We don’t retire at 50 with a pension. We eat what we kill, and when the only thing left to eat is on your dinner plates, we’ll eat that.

For years teachers and other unionized labor have had us fooled. We were too busy working to notice. Do you really think that we are incapable of teaching 3rd graders and doing landscaping? We’re going to take your cushy jobs with tenure and 4 months off a year and whine just like you that we are so-o-o-o underpaid for building the youth of America. Say goodbye to your overtime and double time and a half. I’ll be hitting grounders to the high school baseball team for $5k extra a summer, thank you very much.

So now that we’re going to be making $85k a year without upside, Joe Mainstreet is going to have his revenge, right? Wrong! Guess what: we’re going to stop buying the new 80k car, we aren’t going to leave the 35 percent tip at our business dinners anymore. No more free rides on our backs. We’re going to landscape our own back yards, wash our cars with a garden hose in our driveways. Our money was your money. You spent it. When our money dries up, so does yours.

Beverly Hills surgeon explains at home fix for crepey skin around the arms, legs, and stomach.

The difference is, you lived off of it, we rejoiced in it. The Obama administration and the Democratic National Committee might get their way and knock us off the top of the pyramid, but it’s really going to hurt like hell for them when our fat a**es land directly on the middle class of America and knock them to the bottom.

We aren’t dinosaurs. We are smarter and more vicious than that, and we are going to survive. The question is, now that Obama & his administration are making Joe Mainstreet our food supply … will he? and will they?

In other words, all that talk about how corporate CEOs and Wall Street execs need sky-high compensation in order to entice them to work so hard is utter bullshit. Apparently there is a class who is just genetically predisposed to working with insane intensity for 18 hours at a stretch, and will do so whether it’s lucrative or not. We need to capture these people and harness them to solve our energy problems, possibly by making them run in giant hamster wheels.

The bit at the end about “making Joe Mainstreet our food supply” is fairly troubling, however. We will need many armed guards to make sure these stockbroker-zombies do not break free from their hamster wheels and devour our children under the pretext of “hitting grounders to the high school baseball team.”

Our money was your money. You spent it.

And this dude is going to teach third grade? My daughter spent the entire last week prepping for the third grade standardized math test. Believe me if the word problem was “Wall Street douchebags inveigled people to invest in esoteric financial instruments, promising eternally growing returns, while reaping large fees and receiving bonuses based on how ruthlessly they were willing to defraud people. Then they bought large houses, went on nice vacations, and bought multiple-diamond whores for sexytime. Then the market tanked and investors lost their investments. Solve: Who got to spend the money?” she’d figure it out. Well, OK she might get tripped up by the word “inveigled.”

You know, Mr. Angry executive, most schools and other places would quickly fire obvious sociopaths, so know you can’t run in and take everyone else’s jobs.

You also are not smarter than other people; many others are as smart or smarter that you Wall Street creeps but have the empathy and human decency that you lack and so don’t work there, but instead do something that’s actually useful for society. Money does not equal intelligence, ass.

The irony free conflation of Wall Street and Vegas in that first paragraph is just staggering.
The guy is right. The quants are smarter than the rest of us. They were smart enough to figure out that investing in growth and waiting for dividends and incremental increases was for suckers and the real money was just waiting to be taken by anyone with the brains and balls to work the system as though it were just a big casino.
I guess if we ever manage to end the demand for illegal drugs the guys in that business will come to steal our jobs and eat us too.

How about we have Arizona swap its immigrants for Wall Street’s stockbrokers? Both sides should be happy, then – Arizonans wouldn’t have to see as much melanin in their gardeners, and Wall Street wouldn’t have to see as much rampant greed and dishonesty on its trading floors. Win-win.

Dumbass thinks you get an “extra 5k for hitting grounders” over a summer? More like you get 5k a year for running the whole athletics departments at most schools these days (unless you are the football coach in Texas, in which case the illegal payments make up a nice bundle). College professors in anything other than cutting edge hard sciences start at $40K these days, and that’s with a PhD. Elementary school teachers make less than that starting out, unless you include almost impossible to get gigs in flush school districts. Yes, if you get a gig in a law or MBA program you’ll start in the 80K range, but right now there’s an absurd imbalance of qualified people to jobs, and the skill set of a trader ain’t exactly compatible with teaching and writing academic work.

Dear Mr. Wall Street,

Sure, you know how to spend 18 hours a day writing entitled screeds fueled by Reaganomics. But, to succeed in the world of conservative blogging, you’ve got to have a really compelling angle — like K-Lo’s porn fixation, Jonah’s fascist denialism, Erick’s obsession with mailing geegaws — to bring in the crowds.

I suggest dialing the cannibalism imagery up to 11. Like this: “DEAR OBAMA NATION, I WILL RAPE-EAT YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN WITH MY FAT ASS”.

Good luck at your new job!

And where ARE these landscapers making $85K anyway? Clearly, I had them pegged all wrong.

What’s really scary is that throughout the Great Recession some of the Hedge Funds who helped create this mess have made huge profits because they had plans in place to short the marked when the (inevitable) tanking started. Nothing succeeds like success, so unless Congress can pass actual effective regulatory reform all the Wall Street Fight Clubbers who blew up in ’08 will find a way to get back in the business and emulate the guys who cashed in. We see our money as “investment”. They see it as “chips”.

Mr Blifil

I wonder if John Derbyshire knows anything about the provenance of the email. Surely John Derbyshire must know a John Derbyshire-approved IT guy or two who could, oh I don’t know, take 5 minutes to discover the original IP address of John Derbyshire’s Mr. Anonymous. John Derbyshire should really consider doing a follow up. That way John Derbyshire’s name would become even more closely associated with this John Derbyshire exclusive, so much so that people might even take the opinions of John Derbyshire’s anonymous hero as John Derbyshire’s own views. If I were John Derbyshire writing a John Derbyshire column, that’s what I would do. I wonder if John Derbyshire is reading this right now.

This douchebag is more than welcome to the jobs I had after college – busting up fights in the state psychiatric ward, teaching smelly middle schoolers how to read 3rd grade English, or compiling evidence for the saddest family abuse cases in the universe. Oh yeah, great great paying jobs there too, douchebag, hell, enough to buy a decent used car every four years probably. Come and get it. Turnover is pretty fucking high, you could probably get all three jobs today. Do it now.

Troubledog

We are Times Square. It’s our job to make money. Whether it’s a half-and-half, around-the-world, happy ending, or a hand job behind Krispy Kreme, it doesn’t matter. We would suck dog cocks if it were profitable. Everybody takes it for granted when you get solicited by a whore every ten seconds out there, but now that Obama is taking us whores off the streets, taking away our God-given rights to pursue peaceful commerce as the Founders intended, the government and the average Joes are still looking for a scapegoat. God knows there has to be one for everything. Well, here we are.

JMP

[re=567659]Jerri[/re]: I would like to see this anonymous piece of shit actually try some of these jobs he claims he could do; where he has to be surrounded by normal people instead of other douchebags with super-sized egos. He (and it’s almost certainly a he; Wall Street’s one of most sexist places in America) would quickly learn that people don’t like guys who think they’re better than everyone else, especially when it’s completely unearned.

Oh, and judging by his attitude, I think most waiter/waitresses would glady forgo his 35% tips (yeah right, only if the company’s paying; otherwise he probably tips 10% at most) if it meant not having to deal with him.

Mr. Derbyshire deserves to work in a hospital cleaning bed pans and mopping up vomit for 14K a year. Supervising a class of third graders for a week would kill him – the ADHD kids, the kids who try to kill or molest each other, the kids who have asthma, seizures or allergies, the kids who don’t sleep, the kids who won’t shut up and pay attention, the kids whose parents abuse them, the kids with dyslexia, the kids who tell him to go fuck himself, the kids whose parents don’t care whether the kids live or die. He doesn’t have a clue what it is like to live in the real world.

Naked Bunny with a Whip

I make half of this guy’s imaginary 85K downgrade, yet I still tip 25% – 35% because being wait staff sucks bigtime and I’m not a douchebag. Though I’m wondering how it even comes up,m what with Wall Street troll boy constantly working. Must be hard keeping your story straight, huh?

[re=567685]BaconTime[/re]: Derbyshire TeaBaggins cleaned up the original email, in which the Wallstreeter brags of “teaching 3rd graders to do manscaping.”

snideinplainsight

Uhhh… the thing he’s missing here is that he’s NOT a scapegoat. Wall Street really did blow itself up. No teacher or landscaper caused Leman Brothers to collapse – they have no one to blame but themselves. They lobbied and lobbied for decades for deregulation, and when Glass-Steagall went, and they invented a bunch of new instrument types that had no oversight or regulation at all, they played as if gravity itself had been repealed, untly they imploded a huge chunk of the economy, and it took all of Wall Street’s trust and credibility with it.

That’s the part the people on the other side of the aisle never get, no matter what kind of geniuses they call themselves. If it doesn’t have a price tag on it, they don’t believe it has value. Whatever value there was in forthright political discourse, turd blossom calculated it was more expedient to lie about everything and play to the cameras rather than actually engaging in discussions of ideas. Whatever value there was in an independent and vigilant fourth estate, it couldn’t possibly be worth what could be gained in the short term by wiring up your own fake news channels and echo chambers. Whatever value there was in the credibility of the entire US intelligence apparatus, W traded it away wholesale in one morning at the UN, in order to pursue his own little vendetta against Saddam. The credibility and trustworthiness of Wall Street, the real value of which included bringing a lot of long term investment from foreign sources into the country, was really embedded in the regulation and transparent business practices, isn’t on anybody’s quarterly statement but you’ll surely recognize that now its gone and it might be decades, or never, that it could be built back to what it once was.

This guy reminds me of Sean Hannity when he was claiming that water boarding wasn’t torture and offered that he could do it. We all know he chickened out. I bet this guy would crack in a couple of hours of doing real work. It is easy to work 15 hours a day when you have a staff like your assistant, IT staff, and office manager supporting you. Sitting in a cushy desk job doesn’t quite prepare you for picking strawberries while pesticides being sprayed down from above, or dealing with a classroom of bored kids, working at a slaughterhouse, or landscaping. This guy probably doesn’t even know what to do when something goes wrong with his computer – none of them do. They would be hopeless in an office position.

News flash, Mr. Gambles With A Computer Mouse with Someone Else’s Money And Calls It A “Productive” Activity. Those buy-outs you funded shutdown the innovative medium sized businesses in our state. Where do you think you are going to get one of those jobs, exactly, again? The money you funneled to your personal accounts is money sucked out of the hands of entrepreneurs. Maybe you missed this recent chart on the 12 monitor screens that apparently damaged the connections between what was left of your non-sociopathic brain cells but the trough to trough growth over the last nine years was 1%. That ONE PERCENT. The population grows at 1% per year, so we done nothing but get dragged down by deregulating you delusional thieves. You and your ilk are nothing but vampire leaches concentrating wealth for a few and leaving the real engines of the economy short on resources.

The real engine of the economy is small business, Bitch, you know the ones who work the same fucking hours you do but get to mortgage their house for liquidity to avoiding firing their key people when times get tough.

Did anybody else catch how this asshole screwed up by exposing the sham of “trickle down” economics? I thought that the Gospel Of St Ronnie dictated that the reason these greedy fucks were in charge was because of all the jobs they “created”. Yet, he freely *admits* that

“*We’re going to landscape our own back yards, wash our cars with a garden hose in our driveways*”

In other words, all that money “trickling down” never amounted to anything more than a few jobs for landscapers and carwash attendants. Hoo-Boy, they sure did create a lot of wealth! Not.

Trust a wall street princeling to assume that holding his water so he doesn’t pee all over his expensive Italian shoes with actual work.

real or not, this ranty rant is destined to become the “letter from a birmingham jail” for smug, self-aggrandizing, delusional insufferable pricks with god complexes so big that they’re visible from outer space.

Assuming this is to be believed, good luck going back to school (costs a lot) to get the training and certifications you wall street bozos are going to need to take our jobs. And exactly who do you think you will be answering to? Oh right that’s us, assuming we don’t harbor a grudge and deny you a position in the first place. Like you’re only ones busting their tails at work, I would love to see a wall street executive sit in my desk and try and do what I do. How is a middle aged professional going to get an entry-level position over a recent college grad who works for less? I would love to see a wall street exec on the verge of a heart attack from sucking down coffee and crap do a physical job.

And 85K?! You’re gonna cry about making 85K, thats hilarious.

It’s good to know that these soon-to-be-out-of-work Wall Streeters have FINALLY learned that trickle down economics does NOT mean pissing on everyone — it is good practice to “hold a position” in that respect. That said, I have an opportunity for them!

If they’d like to “let go,” so to speak, they could become programmers! Same hours, same intensity, $85K (or less) a year BUT you have to make shit that mostly works. As a bonus we’d let you to pee in your pants whenever you wanted if that’s what it took to get you to meet a release deadline. We are all heart. Twelve hour days are considered part-time.

These people are seriously out of touch. What’s on my dinner plate (unlike theirs?) is already dead. Anyway, you don’t need to kill cat food.
